    You convinced me. I'm going to upgrade my A7C to A7C II and not A7 IV because of the Clear Image Zoom tracking and LUTs. Those are decision swayers for what I do.

      I was thinking about it but my main drawback is the lenses on the wide end. If I go with the a6700, then I won’t be able to use my 20mm lens as a 20mm lens and I would have to buy another lens just for that. You can argue that it would be cheaper, but that’s one more piece of gear added.

      True... I plan to enter professional photography and simply the thought of loosing data because of a faulty memory card keeps me awake at night 😂. So I will buy the A7iv instead of the A7C II. Also the better Grip at the A7 IV is such a selling point for me with my big hands.

    Do you if the a7cii has the 9.16 aspect markers like the ZV-E1for shooting vertical video in horizontal layout? (ua-cam.com/video/-CVYQa7ern0/v-deo.html) so on the fence between the a7cii & ZV-E1 (I think I can live with the 4k60crop and not having Dynamic Active Stab).

Me switching from the A7siii to the ZV-E1 was no issue so I’m guessing I won’t have any issues doing the same with the the A7cii. Although I would disagree with the size. It is a huge difference for me, not so much the size that it gets attention, but the weight when you’re carrying it in your bag. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

      @@NikoBols I think you better stay with A74 , moving from A7S3 to ZV-E1 makes sense because , A7S3 is pretty old camera and there is a huge price difference between A7S3 and ZV-E1 but A74 and A7CII they are almost the same price and tech also not that much ahead with the later model. So it's wise to stay with A74 or switch to Fuji cameras like X-T5 ..they are as good as any top full frame cameras in the market and fun to shoot with. So many great third party lens option for Fuji these days.
